In mid-March, when the weather got warmer, an archaeological team was stationed in Kaoshan Village and began to conduct archaeological excavations on the ancient tombs. At that time, the official media made special reports on this.
Who would have thought that just half a month later, an archaeological team member died. The Qinghe City Public Security Bureau case came to Liancheng. Because it involved the excavation of ancient tombs, the city leaders tasked the Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate the case.
Xie Changyu thought twice and decided to hand over the case to the special case team. Firstly, Tianjian Mountain is located in a remote area, and their combination of personnel is more suitable for investigating the case. Secondly, the members of the special case team have almost gotten along with each other, so
It's time to take over some important tasks.
After introducing the situation, Lu Wuchuan looked at the time: "That's all I know so far. I'll get off work early today and leave for Tianjian Mountain early tomorrow morning. Dongming, Baozi, bring your own things. If you need anything else, you can
Let the local police assist.”
"Army Corps, do you need to apply for a larger car from the bureau?" Jiang Muyang asked.
Since the establishment of the special case team, he and Duan Mo have both changed Brother Lu to Army Corps. Although Lu Wuchuan repeatedly said that it was just a title and it didn't matter, they still insisted on calling it that.
"It's not convenient to have a car, so take mine and Dong Ming's car." Lu Wuchuan said.
"The Army Corps is right. Two cars are convenient if we go out to do something." Lu Dongming echoed, "Besides, the old cars in our bureau might cause trouble if they get damaged in the mountains."
Yan Yishuai laughed: "Don't drive the trot. The chassis of that thing is too low and it will get stuck easily when running on mountain roads."
"I know, I'm not stupid."
The reason why Yan Yishuai said this is because there was a joke before. Lu Dongming often drove a bright blue off-road vehicle. Yang Baiquan said that his car was too flamboyant and asked him to change to a low-key one. After talking a few times,
, Lu Dongming really changed, and changed to a red trot.
This made Yang Baiquan angry and asked him if he insisted on confronting him.
Lu Dongming looked innocent and said, "Didn't you tell me to lower myself? This car is half a head lower than the Alto."
From then on, the red trot appeared in the parking lot every day. Later, Xie Ju personally talked to him before switching back to the blue cross-country.
In fact, there are no explicit regulations on what kind of car public officials should drive, as long as you can withstand inspection. But in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, most people will not drive too eye-catching cars when they go to work, even if their families are rich.
.
There are many people in the bureau who drive luxury cars, not to mention Lu Wuchuan's car, and Lu Dongming's off-road capabilities are half as good as others. The only reason is that the color of his car is too flashy, and Yang Baiquan always dislikes him.
Lu Dongming's parents started from scratch, starting from selling feed, opening a feed factory, and then to an agricultural supplies company. After that, they grew bigger and bigger, and now they are involved in many industries, making a lot of money.
Generally, those whose families are in business hope that their children can take over their duties. This is not the case in other families. You can do whatever you want, as long as it is a legitimate occupation.
He was able to become a policeman, which made his father happy. In Mr. Lu's words, the old Lu family finally had a member of the official family. He originally had an off-road vehicle, but when Mr. Lu was happy, he bought a trot.
Although Lu Dongming has a flamboyant personality, he is not a person who shows off his wealth. He drives an off-road vehicle to and from get off work. But who made Yang Baiquan insist on pestering him, so he simply took Xiaopao out.
After this incident, the two of them had grown tired of each other. It wasn't until Lu Dongming was asked to leave by Lu Wuchuan that Yang Baiquan breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Early the next morning, two cars, one black and one blue, departed from Liancheng City Public Security Bureau and arrived at Qinghe City Public Security Bureau more than an hour later.
There were two people in charge of the reception. One of them was the deputy director, named Li Zhixue. He was in his early forties, not tall and slightly fat. The other was the criminal police captain Wu Zhengping, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, also of middle age.
He is tall but has a strong body.
Everyone sat down in the conference room, and Lu Wuchuan asked directly where the body was stored.
"In the funeral parlor." Li Zhixue replied, "Our bureau has limited conditions, so the bodies are stored there."
"Then let's talk about the situation first." Lu Wuchuan said, "We have very little information, especially about the deceased. Please introduce it to me."
Wu Zhengping cleared his throat and began to introduce the case.
The deceased's name was Zhou Zheng, male, 24 years old, a second-year postgraduate student at the School of History and Culture at Lianda University, and joined the archaeological team with his mentor Yu Xiangzhou.
The mountains are covered with forests, making it difficult to build prefabricated houses. It is too cold to live in tents in this season. Therefore, the archaeological team temporarily lives in a yard near the foot of the mountain in Kaoshan Village. They get up at 6:30 every morning, have breakfast and go up the mountain.
We started working on the mountain around eight o'clock, and returned to the mountain village at six o'clock in the evening.
Two team members will stay to guard the site every night. On April 2, Zhou Zheng and a man named Zhao Peng from the Archaeological Institute will be on duty.
The excavation of the ancient tomb did not happen overnight. It took several days just to survey and determine the location. Large-scale excavation equipment cannot enter the mountain, so it can only be done by manpower, shovel and pickaxe. Half a month has passed, and it has just been removed.
The soil layer on the surface has been removed, and it is still early for cultural relics to be unearthed.
Being on duty at night is just to prevent someone from damaging the scene, and there is nothing else to do. Usually, two people take a break, with one person working in the middle of the night and the other in the middle of the night.
That night, Zhao Peng was responsible for working until midnight. Zhou Zheng came to change his shift at around 12 o'clock, and he went back to his tent to sleep.
I slept a bit deeply and didn't wake up until about seven o'clock the next morning. I didn't look at Zhou Zheng after leaving the tent. Zhao Peng thought it was convenient for him to go nearby, so he didn't take it seriously.
But until 8:20 when the archaeological team went up the mountain to sign the handover, Zhou Zheng still did not show up.
According to normal procedures, both people must be present when the shift is handed over, so everyone started to search around, and then found his body in a bush about two to three hundred meters away.
At that time, he was lying face down on the ground. Someone shouted a few times. When he saw that he was not moving, they stepped forward and pulled him, only to find that he was out of breath.
"Here, these are photos from the scene." Wu Zhengping placed several photos in front of Lu Wuchuan.
In the photo, a young man wearing a blue jacket fell in the bushes, with grass clippings on his face and hair. His face was tilted to the left, and blood could be faintly seen on the cheek underneath. His thin-framed black glasses were crooked.
On the side of his face, there was only one temple hanging from his ear. His eyes were closed tightly, his brows were furrowed, and his expression looked quite painful.
"This is the autopsy report and on-site investigation record." Wu Zhengping handed over two more reports, "There was a scratch under the neck of the deceased, but there were no other external injuries. Oh, by the way, there was a small cut on the hand.
, there are a few bruises on the arms and legs. They wield pickaxes and shovels all day long, so a small bump is normal."
Lu Wuchuan passed the photos and on-site investigation records to others, and opened the autopsy report himself.
